If you are looking for cades to bottle rear its probably easiest to check with local farmers who are lambing. Do you have a local livestock market as there may be some cades offered through the sales and could be worth checking. We found our first 2 orphans in our fields early one morning, as they were starving and not retrieved by the farmer late that night we ended up keeping them - our flock has since expanded and we now have a flock pedigree sheep as well as the 2 original sheep still!
We are a bit far from you in Shropshire, but will soon have pedigree Zwartbles lambs for sale.

A friendly local farmer is your best bet

I would speak to local vet/s, they will be able to recommend who to speak to amongst their clients.

Ask at your local agricultural supplies place as they will know all the farmers in the area.
